Emergency on our doorstep

    I was recently trying to get a prescription for a couple of the drugs on the COVID iCARE protocol. I don’t have COVID at the moment, but I wanted to have them on hand “in case.” The clinic from which I was requesting this (well known to most of us) refused, saying they would be glad to have a consult if/when. I mentioned that while I agreed with that in general, I wanted the drugs to handle a situation where the consult and access for a pharmacy or shipping would not be available. That didn’t move them; I imagine they couldn’t see that as possible.

    Sadly, it is possible. And it will be. Since only the alternative media with contacts in the Persian Gulf are covering it, I put together a web-page summarizing it. I suggest you take a look at it:

    Succinctly, petroleum experts indicate that, because of the reduction of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz that we and the Israeli government induced, the U.S. will be running out of diesel and jet fuel in the immediate future. It will impact aviation, shipping, and all the supply chains that depend on those. And I suspect that much of what we talk about here will take a back burner to other problems for a possibly long while.

    I am not understanding this very well yet.

    What drugs or supplements do you want to buy?

    Is the issue that your medical insurance policy will not pay for what you want?

    My understanding of his situation is that they would not prescribe the medications he was looking to stock for future use bc he is not currently sick.

    I just purchased 3mg Ivermectin through BP Life without an Rx. I’d prefer a higher dose but that’s what I found without a consult. I learned of BP Life through Dr. William Makis.

    The drugs are Probenecid and Metformin (I have ivermectin and the OTC items). Although COVID may be the least of our problems once the fuel runs out.

    I’ve sometimes wondered if our glibness about so many communicable diseases having been wiped out by clean water and sanitation and refrigeration is going to fall apart if/when those big three are wiped out.

    Ivermectin is readily available anywhere in the world without a prescription. I don’t see any connection with the current oil situation in the middle east. The US has plenty of oil. It is the oil companies taking advantage of the situation.

    It’s interesting that the responses seem to indicate not having read what I wrote. I am NOT looking for ivermectin. And it would be useful if people (for their own safety) would read the link I provided — https://dickatlee.com/oil .

    The issue is that the U.S. will be running out of diesel and airline fuel in a very short time (which is a *direct* result of our blunders in the Mideast). We have been running down the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to keep prices artificially low, and will soon be running on fumes.

    This will cripple all commercial transportation, meaning that air freight, USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc. will not be able to do long-haul deliveries except possibly at great expense. The local delivery trucks run on gasoline, which the U.S. can make, though the price will soon be skyrocketing. But we don’t have the heavy crude needed for diesel/jet fuel, which is now being eaten up by the military in the MidEast. It will be hard for pharmacies to get drugs, hard for them to mail them.

    The loss of 20% of the world’s natural gas means that power plants are not going to have fuel, at the same time that data centers are cornering large quantities of electricity. How this will affect the internet or cell service, I don’t know, but it certainly renders uncertain a lot of communication, including that with the doctors who could prescribe the two drugs I’m looking for. THAT’s why I’m interested in having those drugs on hand ahead of time.

    The loss of Gulf-produced urea and sulfur meant a shortage of fertilizer for spring planting, which will mean food shortages relatively soon.

    To me, this raises the question about those communicable diseases that we so blithely say disappeared due to clean water, sanitation, and refrigeration. What is going to happen when the electricity that runs water pumps and refrigeration is no longer dependable? It’s now been decided to put Three Mile Island back in operation. How nice.

    Seriously, it isn’t ivermectin that I’m concerned about, so lets drop that topic.

    Excellent summary Dick, I will be sharing it.

    If you know a friendly vet it is possible to get meds that way.

    Wishing you smooth sailing in the rough seas ahead.

    Good information about energy.

    This site appears to have a bigger picture view:

    I volunteer at a local bicycle repair co-op to help people keep rolling.

      @wsred thank for the link. Spent a while trying to understand the perspective/message. A different view. Always necessary to widen knowledge to add perspective.

      I love your volunteering activity. Much needed. The small things actually being the big things.

      Yes, thanks for the link. Interesting take. I wonder to what extent it is AI assisted.
      I had to scroll down a long way to find out what I think you meant as relevant. They break out articles from the “feed” page by using the date. The relevant one seemed to be:

      https://un-denial.com/2026/03/12

      I found it fascinating that such an accurate rendition of what we’re facing was available only two weeks into the war. Which is why I wondered about AI. Too bad Trump had to wait until two weeks ago to (at least publicly) recognize where he was headed.
